This following below is another interesting story I came upon when reading book Zhang Zi. I like share it with people and hope Zhuangzi's story can enlighten us in terms of the understanding towards death.

When Chuang Tzu was about to die, his disciples began planning a grand funeral.

But Chuang Tzu said:
I shall have heaven and earth for my coffin, the sun and moon will be jade symbols hanging by my side; planets and constellations will shine as jewels all around me, and all beings will be present as mourners at the wake. What more is needed? Everything is amply taken care of.

But the disciples said:
We fear that the crows and kites will eat our Master.

Chuang Tzu replied:
Well, above the ground I shall be eaten by crows and kites, and below the ground by ants and worms. In either case I shall be eaten. So why do you favor this and dislike the other? What a bigotry it is!
